Giving Yourself Permission

Late last year, I started scheduling my creative time. Time each morning during the week before work that I create along with scheduled blocks of time on the weekend.

Much like scheduling my meetings at work, or my time to workout... creative play is just as important. It allows my mind to wander, time to practice, dive into new techniques or develop my skills.

This creative time spent grounds me and helps me start my day off right.

I know that we are all busy. Most of us have careers and care for families and our homes. All of that demands a lot of time. Get up a few minutes early or stay up 10-15 minutes after your tuck your kiddos in bed. Give yourself permission to schedule some time to create each day, you'll be surprised at how it makes you feel.
